You can run the whole app right off the flash drive.. The only problem is that you would ALWAYS have to run it from the flash drive to keep all your bookmarks portable. http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/browsers/portable_firefox You may want to take a look at Portable Firefox.

I think that may be the answer for me. What's really strange is that today when I turned on my laptop to check all the bookmarks I'd saved to show at today's meeting they were gone from my profile. My other bits are there but no bookmarks. I found the bookmarks.html file so I'll be able to restore them but it seems odd that the day that I'm writing about bookmarks mine go missing. Weirdd.

I was going to suggest <a href="http://unalog.com/" rel="nofollow">unalog</a> for private bookmarks, but it looks like they're not allowing new public registrations. I don't like one entity tracking too much info on me, but besides that it sounds like this google service is only really good for people who have control over the computers they're using. Enough to install Firefox and an extension. That limits the audience and wouldn't help someone at a public computer where Delicious or other social sites could. Oh, and I almost forgot about the <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/342/" rel="nofollow">Foxylicious</a> extension. It didn't work for me, but seems like it does for others. It syncs your delicious to your Firefox bookmarks. Delicious is cool. I was going to suggest unalog for private bookmarks, but it looks like they’re not allowing new public registrations.
